I think I understand what your saying. I wouldn’t say I don’t feel safe but sometimes I feel pointless and that what I post is totally irrelevant. It’s purely down to being over sensitive and just because someone doesn’t respond to a post does not mean that that they are being nasty just that maybe they haven’t anything relevant to say.

Sometimes I think I give too much away about myself and then regret posting. And other times I have an absolute manic night and post all sorts of gibberish. But I think that’s all part of the illness and fortunately most people on here understand

Sometimes I worry someone I know irl might find all of my posts. But I don’t worry so much anymore because I have grown a lot through talking to you all so it’s well worth it plus we don’t identify ourselves specifically enough.

Anyway I guess the worst case scenario would be potential embarrassment?

I've only felt unsafe once when I stupidly trusted and overshared with someone, going as far as giving them information that could potentially give them the tools to track me down in real life, but other than that nah

i'm sorry i think i'm going through a stage of not trusting the forum staffs again in case they start the game of change what midnight says then punish her for what we changed her posts to then change it back again

That was on a different forum right? I think on here they just edit it for you to match forum rules. That happened to one of my posts once. And then I realized my post was potentially triggering and had them take it down even though it was edited and they did and it was fine.

Well that’s not cool . I understand the worry; I had a friend turn her back on me a couple years ago and didn’t want friends after that. I kinda am ready to make new friends now though like it might be worth risking it haha.

I don’t think that the same problem would happen here and we also have your back and could help you straighten out any misunderstandings

Guess I should explain a little.When my PTSD has been triggered(which it has been,again) everyone feels/seems like a threat to my safety.It's not just this forum,it's any kind of interaction with people whether online or in real life.

I just wanted to clarify that.As far as this forum specifically,I find it more comfortable and safe than any other out there.Proof of that is that I am posting at all today while feeling like this.I may be sitting here looking over my shoulder, being startled by noises,shadows,even my own reflection as I walk past anything that is reflective like windows, mirrors, dishes,silverware,etc but I have felt safe enough to make these 2 posts in this thread.That says a lot about this place and how great it is.
